The funny gal talks to the mag about leaving ‘Saturday Night Live’ and dropping out of college to travel in Mexico.

Pick up the issue when it hits newsstands on July 17 or head to MarieClaire.com.

On leaving SNL after seven seasons: “I know a lot of people probably assume, ‘Oh, she’s leaving because she is going to be doing movies now and things like that,’ which I will be,” she notes. “But I just always knew it was going to be seven and that was it. I think maybe if I were 22, I could see myself staying a little bit, but it just felt like the right time.”

On dropping out of college to travel in Mexico: “Sailing, kayaking, going with 20 strangers into the mountains of the Yucatán. Probably one of the more important things that I’ve done. It felt like that first big accomplishment. I was scared to do it, I knew it was going to be really hard, and I did it.”

On her happiness: “I will say that I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and I feel very lucky. [Because of] where I am now. Who he [boyfriend, Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti] is. Those are the two big ones.”

The spread isn’t that inspiring and she looks a little uncomfortable on the cover. Love the last shot tho. It’s so sad tho, whenever i see her, i immediately think of her characters Gilly or Sue from SNL. HILARIOUSSSSS!!!! I can’t be the only one hahaha
